I have to be honest, I expected it. As soon as I saw the poster, I knew "Cruise and Diaz? Hell no!". But I decided to give it a shot...
I will start with what I don't like: Almost everything!
As soon as the movie started I knew I'm gonna suffer for the next 109 minutes. The movie has so many flaws and the acting was at the level of some '90s soap operas. Stupid, empty dialogs and childish looks gave me the feeling someone wanted to put two adults to play teenagers.
The story? Very disappointing. Our dear Cruise somehow failed to leave the impression of a secret agent (probably because he was always trying to show that smile of his which made him an actor), while Diaz showed that she still can't act any further than whining and showing her fake teeth. Also, I don't think real secret agents steal the most expensive cars to drive around...
Now for the worst part: Explosions and bullets. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Explosions are a must in action movies. Great! But this movie had the most idiotic ways to use explosions and bullets. (warning, spoiler ahead) I stopped counting at 5billion bullets fired, and then all of a sudden, even though he used the past 100 minutes to avoid bullets, Cruise walks slowly through a shower of bullets fired from automatic guns without getting hit? Come on!!! (end of spoiler)
The explosions-counter wasn't really busy, but my brain almost exploded because of the stupid way the movie used explosions like (spoiler) the airplane crash (end of spoiler).
And now, for the good stuff. After watching 109 minutes, and suffering from different kinds of nervousness, I managed to find something that is great in the movie:
1. The cars - everyone loves to see old timers, whether they're wrecked or look like new, they're beautiful.
2. (MAJOR SPOILER) the sentence "someday is an excuse for never" really hit me. (end of spoiler)
I regret spending my money on such an awful movie.
